This is a small applet designed for the panel to have quick access to the most used folders.

Hints for the Drag and Drop support:
you can open the dialog by hovering for 1 sec over the applet. The same way you can navigate through the directory tree, simply stay 1 sec over a folder/the backarrow to get into the folder...
If you drop a file/folder it will land in the folder you are in, no matter if you dropped it on a foldericon or not...

If you see any bugs or think something is a design failure please inform me about it.

I have to thank Luciano Leveroni and Marcel Nowaczyk for their help, suggestions and testing, without them you would have a lot of bugs in the released version...

Changelog:

0.6:
----

and the device notifier could then maybe even be killed, in case the
quickaccess-plasmoid would send a fancy notification via dbus to the
notification-part of plasma :-)

The 'Open' bar

Can you add an option to move the 'Open' bar to the bottom. This will allow me to use less mouse movement to open a folder.

After clicking on a few folders an up arrow appears next to the 'Open' bar. This arrow suggests that the current location will go up. Instead, it takes me Home. Maybe the arrow is changed by the current skin, but its appearance is confusing. Can you change the icon or its behaviour.

OOOPS I just see that these .debs are incompatible with new KDE 4.3 I'm updating all distro/arch builds :)

I've few errors when I want to compile it.

################################################################################################
CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindPlasma.cmake:13 (message):
FindPlasma.cmake is deprecated. Now with KDE 4.2 Plasma is part of kdelibs
and automatically found using find_package(KDE4) instead.

Replace the variables previously coming from FindPlasma.cmake as follows:

PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND -> KDE4_PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND

PLASMA_LIBS -> KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS

PLASMA_INCLUDE_DIR -> KDE4_INCLUDE_DIR or KDE4_INCLUDES, should be already
set anyway

PLASMA_FOUND -> nothing, it's always there if KDE4, version 4.2 or newer
has been found.

If you see this error message in a module within KDE/, update it from svn,
it has been fixed already.

Places in Quick Access Plasmoi

Please add a column with the configured Places to the Quick Access Plasmoid.
Places are made expressly for this purpose: to provide quick access to a
specific folder. Adding a separate Quick Access Plasmoid for each folder that
the user needs access to is ridiculous. Thanks.

Note that this was originally filed as a KDE wishlist item:

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
